Remove Shift Deviations
Explanation
Remove unwanted shift deviation records created as a result of editing, deleting, or adding new shifts manually.
When a shift deviation is removed, the original shift is restored as it was generated, and the capacity is adjusted
accordingly.
Removing deviations can be done when the deviation is no longer valid but should also be considered if the
resource has a change in base schedule or shift pattern template used to generate shifts. Existing shift deviations
are based on the schedule they were created against and may differ from the new schedule. Existing shift deviations
will also prevent any updates or inserts of new shifts for the account date where they exist.
Removing deviations will restore the shift as it was generated and can be done using one of these
methods;
- Resetting selected edited shifts using the Reset Shift command in the Resource
Availability page.
- Removing all shift deviations for selected resources using the Remove Shift Deviations
option in the Generate Resource Schedules and Capacity dialog.
- Remove selected shift deviations manually using the Remove Deviations command in the
Resource Availability page or the Resource Shift Deviations page.
- If a shift has been deleted, there will exist deviations for the shift as well as for any breaks within
the shift. Restoring the shift requires that all deviations associated with the shift are removed
entirely.
Prerequisites
A resource shift or break must have been edited, deleted or entered manually to create shift deviations.
System Effects
- Removing shift deviations resets the shift and breaks as generated, and the capacity is adjusted
accordingly.
- A resource shift change log is created If the shift, as a result of removing the deviation, is changed within
the shift freeze period (if defined). The change log can be viewed in the Resource Shift Change
Log page, and the shift freeze period is defined in Resource Basic
Data.
